Dan Walker, 1240 WWCO Waterbury CT | 1979
Contributor Angello Vecchiarelli is an archivist of Waterbury and Naugatuck Valley radio stations. There is a page for Waterbury area stations on Facebook which includes WATR, WNVR, WNAQ and WWCO. Look it up if you’re interested in Waterbury area radio. Here’s one that our Contributor sent in over a year ago. It’s very short, but then…
Dan Ingram, MusicRadio 77 WABC New York | April 10, 1979
From Contributor Frank Davis comes this unique ‘almost disco’ recording of MusicRadio 77 from April 10, 1979. Legend has it that WABC went Disco for one week. Well, first off, we’re not entirely sure of which week in ’79 that was, or if it was exactly one week or longer. One thing is for certain,…
Jackson Armstrong (John Larsh) & the Gorilla, 1020 KTNQ Ten-Q Los Angeles | January, 1979
Graciously donated to airchexx by Big Apple Airchecks, here is more of the BEST of Jackson Armstrong (John Larsh). Recorded on a long cassette featuring one side with fellow Ten-Q jock Dave Conley (WOR-FM/WKOX-FM/KHJ/KFRC), this aircheck shows off Armstrong’s talent. He was the perfect guy to sit in the afternoon drive chair. No jingles, few…
Rick Kelly & Glenn “FM” Stevens, 102.1 WAQY Wacky 102 Springfield Mass. | December, 1979
**LISTENING LINKS FOLLOW DESCRIPTION BELOW** Over the years, it’s been increasingly difficult to obtain recordings of the old Top 40 station that preceded WAQY‘s Classic Rock format. Known as “Wacky 102”, the station was known for its personalities and (at least for a time), it’s automated Top 40 format. We’ve held on to this aircheck…
Al Bandiero on WKBW 1520 Buffalo | January 28, 1979
**LISTENING OPTIONS FOLLOW THE DESCRIPTION BELOW** Of all the recordings I kept over the years, only two have survived from the 70s. The first is a Chicago “Greatest Hits” cassette that I got for Christmas in 1976. The second is this aircheck that I recorded one cold winter night – from my home in Massachusetts,…
Harry Nelson on 68 WRKO Boston | Summer 1979
Credit, once again, our good friend Matt over at Big Apple Airchecks for this look at Boston’s legendary 68 WRKO! No I can’t give you an exact date on this aircheck but we’ll just narrow it down to sometime around August 1979, based on one news item about Windsor Locks (CT) recovering from a tornado.…
KFRC Station Composite, 610 KFRC San Francisco | 1979
There are some radio stations that are considered legendary. WABC New York, WLS Chicago, KHJ Los Angeles, and I think KFRC San Francisco would be in that category. It was San Francisco’s Top 40 giant, in the 1960s, 70s, and into the 80s. The talent at the station was unbelievable! in fact, this composite aircheck…
“New Is…” Jingles, from Newsradio 88 WCBS New York | 1979
If you are a radio geek (and if you were not, you probably wouldn’t be here) you have probably had a radio jingle package get stuck in your head over the years. Normally it’s the CHR or Top 40 stations that tend to have the catchiest jingles. For many years I had the jingles for…
